Brief summary (registry, in English)

Hypertension guidelines recommend the application of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertension. Subtypes of hypertension such as nocturnal hypertension can be found through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Previous studies have reported that the prevalence of nocturnal hypertension, even isolated nocturnal hypertension, is higher in patients with chronic kidney disease, and it is associated with adverse events such as cardiovascular events and progression of renal dysfunction. However, the benefit of controlling nocturnal hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease is unclear. In this study, a total of 200 patients with chronic kidney disease and isolated nocturnal hypertension will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly divided into two treatment groups: the active antihypertensive treatment group and the placebo treatment group (1:1). The antihypertensive treatment group will be treated with arotinolol or amlodipine and clonidine to control nocturnal blood pressure, while the control group will be treated with the corresponding placebos. Randomized patients will be followed up for 2 years to evaluate the effect of controlling isolated nocturnal hypertension on the progression of chronic kidney disease in terms of EPI-estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and change in proteinuria.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute heart failure, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or cerebral hemorrhage within the 12 weeks prior to enrollment;
  • Underwent coronary revascularization (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention \[PCI\] or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting \[CABG\]), or valve repair/replacement within the 12 weeks prior to enrollment, or planned to undergo any of the aforementioned surgical procedures after randomization;

Other illness

  • Presence of acute kidney injury or acute renal failure;
  • History of kidney transplantation;
  • Presence of severe arrhythmias, including severe atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular (AV) block, sinoatrial (SA) block, sinus bradycardia, malignant AV node reentrant tachycardia syndrome;
  • Secondary hypertension related to suspected or confirmed renal artery stenosis or adrenal gland disorders;
  • NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class III-IV congestive heart failure at the time of enrollment;
  • Any other serious diseases outside the renal and cardiovascular domains, including but not limited to malignancies, with an expected survival of less than 2 years based on the investigator's clinical judgment;
  • Presence of active malignancy requiring pharmacological treatment;

Lab values

  • Poor glycemic control (HbA1c \> 12%);
  • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) or ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) levels \>3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
  • Total bilirubin \>2 times ULN. Patients with Gilbert's syndrome who exhibit isolated bilirubin elevation do not need to be excluded;

Age

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of enrollment, or not employing contraception of reproductive age;

Other

  • Orthostatic hypotension (a decrease in blood pressure of \>20/10 mmHg within 3 minutes of standing from a sitting position);

Who the study is looking for

  • Participants must be 18 years of age or older. All genders are eligible;
  • Confirmed diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) according to KDIGO. guidelines;
  • UACR \< 30 mg/g (3.4 mg/mmol) and eGFR between 20-44 mL/min/1.73 m²; or UACR between 30-300 mg/g (3.4-33.9 mg/mmol) and eGFR between 20-59 mL/min/1.73 m²; or UACR between 300-5000 mg/g (33.9-565 mg/mmol) and eGFR \> 20 mL/min/1.73 m² (CKD-EPI equation).
  • Office blood pressure measurements below 140/90 mmHg at both screening visits;
  • Daytime ambulatory blood pressure \< 135/85 mmHg and nighttime systolic blood pressure ≥ 120 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 70 mmHg;
  • No use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologic agents for at least one month prior to enrollment;
